[Explanation] Recently, there have been media reports that there is discrimination against the positive recovery of the new crown in the recruitment market, which has caused widespread concern in the society.
In this regard, a reporter from China News Agency had a dialogue with a labor agency in Minhang District, Shanghai on the grounds of helping a new crown positive recovered person find a job.

reporter
It doesn't matter if he has been positive (sex) for the new crown before.
labor agency
How long has it been positive (sex)?
reporter
April, at the end of April.
labor agency
That probably won't work, it's only been a few months.
reporter
It's not been more than two months, almost three months, why not?
labor agency
That person will definitely not want it, and now we don't want those who have had masculine (sexual) sex in our work unit.
[Explanation] The reporter saw in the recruitment information released by the labor agency that some of them marked "don't enter the cabin". The agency said that there were job seekers who concealed their experience in the cabin and were finally found out by the employer. And refused to accept.
labor agency
We say that they are more formal (employers), unless they are small, the salary is not very high anyway, you may find it yourself.
Now let’s say that sentence like this, as long as you have been in the square cabin, you can see the information on our many (recruitment) lists. Some people directly say that as long as you have been in the square cabin, you don’t need it.
labor agency
As long as you talk about people who have been masculine (sexual), you don't want them. Like some of them on our side, they conceal their itinerary and say I don't have it. Have you ever entered the cabin?
No, none at all, wait for someone (employer) to check and find out.
reporter
There have been people like that, haven't they?
labor agency
too much.
[Explanation] It is reported that Article 30 of the "Employment Promotion Law" stipulates that an employer shall not refuse to hire a person on the grounds that he is a carrier of an infectious disease pathogen.
In this regard, the lawyer believes that the behavior of the employer to reject the positive recovery of the new crown constitutes employment discrimination against job seekers.
At the same time, judging from the existing medical conclusions, those who have recovered from the new crown can be regarded as healthy people, and the behavior of the employer clearly violates the "Employment Promotion Law".

The first problem is that it should be a relatively obvious violation of the "Employment Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China". The rejection of this job seeker with a positive recovery record should constitute employment discrimination.
The second question, according to the current medical conclusions, is that this positive recovery person can actually be regarded as a healthy population, not a carrier of infectious disease pathogens, so from this point of view, if the employer refuses to hire a positive recovery person , or to write "do not enter the cabin" on the recruitment information, which is a relatively obvious employment discrimination.
[Explanation] During the interview, the labor agency told reporters that, judging from the current actual situation, he expects that the situation that some companies reject the positive recovery of the new crown may continue for a period of time.
In this regard, lawyers believe that in addition to job seekers' own rights protection, the key to improving such situations lies in the change of social awareness.
[Concurrent] Huang Leping, lawyer of Beijing Yixian Law Firm
In fact, to fundamentally improve the employment situation of positive recovered persons, the key lies in changing social awareness.
That is to say, when the whole society no longer has a fear of this patient or close contact group of new coronary pneumonia, I think that this positive recovery person and related close contact group will not be discriminated against in the job market.
